R5906788-03 Thor series 15
cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. Keep flammable and
combustible materials away from the projector at all times. Mount the projector in a well ventilated area
away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In
the event of fire, use sand, CO
2
or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never use water on an electrical fire.
Always have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco service personnel. Always insist on
genuine Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety
of this projector.
• Ensure no miss alignment can occur. Prolonged long time exposure of back wooden walls at close
distance (< 20cm) can represent a fire risk. After alignment the projector shall be securely mounted to the
pedestal.
• Slots and openings in this equipment are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the
projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This projector should not be placed in a
built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent
hot exhaust air from projector and cooling system (chiller units) to the outside of the building.
• Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
To prevent battery explosion
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly installed.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
• For disposal of used batteries, always consult federal, state, local and provincial hazardous waste disposal
rules and regulations to ensure proper disposal.
To prevent personal injury
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before
powering the projector or adjusting the projector.
• Do not underestimate the weight of the projector. The projector weights ±240 kg (±529 lbs). To prevent
personal injury a hoisting tool should be used to lift the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens, cooling system and all cover plates are correctly installed. See
installation procedures.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to
the eye.
• Warning: extremely high brightness projector: This projector embeds extremely high brightness
(radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not
accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been defused within
the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light.
Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly
within the beam. This risk is not specific related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high
thermal induced energy of the light source; which is comparable with lamp based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance. The Hazard Distance
(HD) is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the
irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)”, page 19.
• Based on international requirements, no person in allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone
between the projection lens and the related Hazard Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by
creating sufficient separation height or by placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator
training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in “High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)”, page 19.
• The projector shall be installed in a restricted access room equipped with a key or security lock preventing
untrained persons entering the Class 4 use zone.
• Before attempting to remove any of the projector's covers, disconnect the projector power cable from the
mains electricity for removal of all power from the projector.
• When required to remove all power from the projector (e.g. during service), always disconnect the power
from the projector mains terminals and UPS INLET connector. Use the disconnect device in the building
installation to disconnect the power to the projector mains terminals, and unplug the power cord at the UPS
INLET connector if the UPS INLET is separately powered.
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious
damage to it and possible injury to the user.
